need some advice on detail products

[bennettxo]

so im new to detailing and have no idea where to start ive never really done any detailing apart from giving the car a good wash inside and out.
I'm looking to but some decent shampoo,clay and polish. only looking to spend like £15 as im tight on cash.
If anyone could tell me some good but cheap products it would be much appreciated!

Everything you need to get started except clay

Dod Juice BTBM
Bilt Hamber Autoclay
Tripple

Little over £15 I'm sure, but that's detailing for you.

Add some sonax detailing spray too

And drying towels.

And a sponge or mitt

Buckets

Tyre Gel.....

Good little kit that.

You'll need 2 buckets, a mitt, mircofibres and applicator pads aswell. Look into your washing technique i'd say if your not upto speed on the 2BM.

You'll never detail a car on a small budget but you can certainly give it a good wash.

He's only asked for clay, shampoo and polish though, you two.

 

[Yellow Dave]

he also said £15, so at least he'll get a variety in the kit. enough to get him started till he can afford to get accessories

BTBM will almost blow his budget. Then claying isn't a good idea unless he buys tar and iron removers to use first. Ahh there's just too much.

Don't buy anything, don't get into detailing, it's not worth the money you'll end up spending!

How far does 100ml of auto finesse product go? just the 1 wash? No idea. Complete novice.

and I'm tight.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Typically 75/100ml of citrus power pre wash, some users use a lot more but is only needed on the lower half of the car
20/30ml of lather shampoo per wash
50ml of tripple all in one polish per application but on its own this will last 2months.
20ml of toughcoat sealant per application, over tripple it should last 3 to 4months.
revive trim dressing 10ml maybe 20ml for a Clio per apllication, and depending on which part of the car the plastic is on will last anything from 1 to 3months,

Cheers mate. I'll be buying that kit then to try it out

Based on the OP, my advice is to spend more money

Was just going to suggest the same thing.

I'd also make sure you have a wash mitt.
